Some random thoughts on #Coronavirus...
1. I've never been more aware of and sickened by the amount of people apparently NOT washing their hands after using the bathroom. SMH.

2. I've had to beg two men on my job to please STOP coughing on me. IDK what kind of bionic immunity they think I have, but that is seriously just rude and GROSS.
3. I spray my work areas at the start and finish of my day with Lysol.

4. Funny seeing how many people NOW believe in science. IDK where in the Bible folks read "you don't need doctors/nurses/scientists." God gave us these people for a reason.
5. While folks are stocking up on toilet paper, are they buying food? IJS if you aren't eating, that TP probably won't get a lot of action.
6. These travel deals are SUPER cheap right now. IJS.. where are we going?

Two #Quarantine observations:
1. All of these entertainers could have BEEN hosting live performances on social media. Too many were too "big" to try it. This is how all those new acts and "influencers" grow audiences today. Show a little fan appreciation & watch it pay off.

What DJ D Nice, Debbie Allen, Anthony Hamilton and others did this past week during #coronavirus #SocialDistancing equals smart branding. These efforts cost little and generate GREAT returns.

RANDOM #COVID19 #JournoLife thoughts... because I'm up.
I've been fuming over the messaging with #COVID19. It's been so negligent, janky and SUPER late. This pragmatic response causes TOO many problems. Whatever happened to "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

I'm not saying we have to go back to Sunday pundit talking points, but for the love of all that is holy can we PLEASE:
streamline the message and save lives;
show humanity in discussions surrounding mortality; and
eliminate ANYTHING that remotely sounds partisan.



I used to hate politico talking points, but organic is FAILING politicos right now. Politicians please go back to the comms team script and only allow seasoned subject matter experts to address the public "off-the-cuff" on sensitive issues.
The speech teacher in me is cringing.

Wow! When the convos we have get really REAL. Minus the slurs, this discussion has been happening A LOT in my circles. It's a combo of "Welcome to America" & tough love. I just hope my non-aware, non-woke, passive Asian folks are watching closely right now
Everyone else, y'all already knew this is sadly how you may people view Asians here in America. I'm REALLY sure It didn't take this coronavirus to show you that racism is real.

When you work in the #BlackPress and report on these consistent socioeconomic issues daily, you take notice of what it takes for the rest of the industry to see your "fringe" genre as essential news. Today's it a global pandemic. #JournoLife
I hope news managers are paying close attention to how #COVID19 impacts Black communities. We're often the canary in the coal mine.
For the non-newsy folks, reports like this are why I am consistently calling attention to Black issues. If we don't tell OUR stories, no one will.

Happy #DELTAversary to my 60 City Lights. In the midst of a #COVID19 quarantine, there's no place I'd rather be than online with these divas. Thank you God for allowing me to be part of @BMACDST Sp' 03.
Ok I know we're in a pandemic, but WHY are people out here carjacking NEWS VANS? Where are you going??? https://twitter.com/Deetroit_Dave/status/1250021156444307456
Make it, make sense.

Just rocked my #LunchBreak #DanceBreak with @OfficialDADance Terry Beeman. Thank you SO much for these stress relieving exercises to ward of the #COVID19 crisis blues. BTW I rocked this combo at THIS tempo at least one of the 50-leven times I tried. Too fun! #DanceWithDebbieAllen
I seriously just took a jazz class and had the nerve to blast soca and hop around this house like I'm at Caribana. SMH y'all pray for my knees. These #Coronavirus quarantine #DanceBreaks are getting WILD!
Valid concern. Maybe requiring virtual backgrounds will help eliminate that. I often suggest a blank white wall, but that's not always available. https://twitter.com/EvieBlad/status/1250113666005041162

#NoFilter just focused on a few things. This is the moment when I was done and able to that bandana off to breathe normally again. I can't thank the parks people enough for allowing us to enjoy a little nature with #SocialDistancing during this #COVID19 crisis. #RunnerGirl
I LIIIIVVVEEEE for #JournoLife stories with strong #SocialMedia references. This piece from my #OrangeNation @SyracuseU bro @iKNOWron also incorporated #SocialDistancing amid this #COVID19 crisis. I sure would

When I tell you I've spent the majority of my #JournoLife career covering politics and I refuse to watch these White House #COVID19 briefings anymore, that should mean something folks. If you're going to jump the shark every day you're going to have to pay me to sit through this
I hope folks have BIG houses and are giving their spouses some space to appreciate all this quality time. IJS all that holiday love and coordinated pajama action has gotten super silent amid the #COVID19 crisis.

2 - @Beyonce singing "When You Wish Upon a Star" was melodic perfection tugging at our heartstrings. https://twitter.com/AustinKellerman/status/1250948806402809856


#DisneyFamilySingalong 
1 - Leave it to @ArianaGrande to make me actually like Megara from #Hercules. That performance was a mix of all the fun funky parts of the movie. S/o to her tributes to The Muses (Calliope, Clio, Melpomene, Terpsichore & Thalia) https://twitter.com/ABCNetwork/status/1250947968011657216


JIC you need a reminder... These are The Muses of @Disney's Hercules. @ArianaGrande rocked this on #DisneyFamilySingalong
! And that's the gospel truth.

Friends can we PLEASE put these #DontRushChallenge videos to rest this weekend? It's been a GOOD three weeks. This fad is officially played out. Time for a new trending challenge.
Florida... may the odds be in your favor.--> Beaches in Florida will start reopening THIS EVENING amid #COVID19 https://mol.im/a/8229933 via @MailOnline


FYI... @levarburton is back in 10 mins with story time for adults. #LevarBurtonReads #COVID19 https://twitter.com/levarburton/status/1251300357038239744
It's happening. The latest #LevarBurtonReads . @levarburton https://twitter.com/levarburton/status/1251319850967785473
If you had told me that I would start a Saturday in April 2020 “Sweatin’ to the Oldies” in a Care Bears t-shirt, I would have laughed. But that’s what happened as I kicked off a VERY busy Saturday with my #GirlPowerHappyHour fam.
It was also great to hear from Josephine Brown about the best ways to balance wellness activities and nutrition. DRINK MORE WATER! This was a perfect weekend starter in this #Coronavirus #COVID crisis world. BRAVO ladies! creating this much needed virtual community.
THOUGHTS on that #BabyfacevsTeddyRiley BOTCHED battle. I
@KennyEdmonds and @TeddyRiley1, but they needed to figure out how to use Instagram BEFORE last night. Riley had ALLLLLLLLLL those people in there and STILL couldn't figure out his audio set up

Oddly @TeddyRiley1 had a @Blackstreet_Ent & @Dave_Hollister set April 2 disregarding #SocialDistancing. Last night all of those people jeopardized their lives.
Please stop endangering lives for live streams. We want the greats around after #COVID19

Saturday our @BABJ_md Student Liaison @Tramon_WBAL showed up and showed OWWWT. Talk about leadership!
No panel. No preaching. Just leaning on one another and inherently teaching. A simple conversation goes a LOOONNNNGGGGGG way. #JournoLife https://twitter.com/BABJ_md/status/1251614327678910465

#CUSE comfort to "wine down" the day. There were more, but I was too busy enjoying the greatness that lives in our bond. These lil virtual meet ups are gems in this #COVID19 crisis.

Welp I am #blackAF... let me see what's up with this new Kenya Barris project. Warning: I'll probably post SPOILERS below. #TheArts


I'm told this is the BEST part of the #blackAF series https://twitter.com/strongblacklead/status/1251186500131328001
Out'cher looking like a preppy bank robber in the name of #COVID19 safety and #SocialDistancing . I'll be so glad when this is all over. Running with your face covered SUCKS! #RunnerGirl




Annnnd the battle has begun. #BabyfacevsTeddyRiley Round #2
I feel like I'm watching the soundtracks for EVERY 90s and 2000s throwback RomCom movie. The Wood, Love and Basketball, The Best Man...ALL of them. #BabyfacevsTeddyRiley
That time Babyface broke out a guitar during the #BabyfacevsTeddyRiley battle. That was SOOOOOO not fair. But I was too mesmerized to protest. #WhenCanISeeYouAgain.
Can we all agree that letting BABYFACE rock slow jamz and ballards will blow any producer out of the water? Teddy stay in the club! Rock the club bangerz . Don't let Face pull you into the slow songs. You'll drown. #BabyfacevsTeddyRiley
You have to
a man that plays and sings. Go @KennyEdmonds . These #BabyfacevsTeddyRiley guitar "interludes" are golden.

Welp you hate to see the night end like this, but technical difficulties are real. Thank you @TeddyRiley1 and @KennyEdmonds for the great Insta battle. Your work is AMAZING! #BabyfacevsTeddyRiley

Happy #EarthDay

I've worked in some of the USA's poorest regions & as I cover poverty it blows my mind that voters don't vote career political fat cats OUT of office every election. These #COVID19 decisions to send citizens into the pandemic Hunger Games = they DGAF about your life. #JournoLife
Black Americans, hit hard by both economic and health costs of the outbreak, overwhelmingly support social distancing measures. https://twitter.com/nhannahjones/status/1253311007239426048 #COVID19
